* Born in Lisbon in 1647, De Britto became a Jesuit at 15. In 1673 he traveled to India to preach Christianity. He converted a Maravese prince and then demanded that the prince dismiss all of his wives but one. Among the wives was a niece of the King of Marava; she objected so effectively that De Britto was beheaded in 1693.
